A flight that made me smile 
Started my flight preparations in a 747-400 from EDDF to WSSS, a long 12 hour flight.
Preflight checks finished, outside check done (though it was snowing heavily in Frankfurt), all set with ATC and flightplan cleared to
Singapore.
This time I wanted the crew to serve without my advice (the purser should be able to manage that by himself), so set the option to AUTO.
Completed boarding, welcomed passenger with a little music, pushed back, taxied to the RW, a clean takeoff into the night sky, climbed
to FL390 and passed the cockpit to the senior first officer, since I was going to have a rest.
Early morning after a good breakfast came up to the flight deck, checked the situation, everything fine, about another 3 hours to go to
Changi. Passengers satisfied ETA still in a very good range to get the bonus points...
Started my descent to Singapore (wondered that no more meals or snaks were served before, but anyhow its the purser business...) had
some turbulences on the approach but made a nice landing, taxied to the gate, shut off the engines after nearly 12h of flight and
disembarked the PAX.
Now I was curious about the flight report!
The crew served 1 hot meal and 1 drink! WHOW! Hey, that was just after I took off in Frankfurt! So passengers did not have anything
to eat or drink for about 10 hours and even no movie, but they were still 100% satisfied!
My Purser is a genious how he managed to do such an economic flight (since I do not charge for snaks, food, or drinks in any class).
I might change my airline name to Diet-Airlines with an increase of the ticket price since its a very healthy flight and since
there was even no movie people read books instead!
